Resumo

Acute respiratory infections (ARI) are the largest group of diseases with prevalence in children and were included among the three main public health problems of childhood in the late 1960s. The high rate of morbidity makes ARI the main cause of use of health services, representing 20 to 40% of consultations in pediatric services worldwide and 12 to 35% of hospital admissions. Among the main causes of infections, bacterial, fungal and viral infections can be mentioned and according to the World Health Organization, approximately 90% of respiratory infections in children are of viral origin. Given the above, the objectives of the study were to evaluate the epidemiological and molecular profile of acute respiratory infections caused by influenza A and B viruses and their subtypes in children in Hospital Centers in Goiânia-GO. All children with acute respiratory symptoms who were treated in the Emergency Department and/or were admitted to Pediatric wards and/or ICUs were included. Our results corroborate the data that indicate that Rhinovirus, Adenovirus, Metapneumovirus and Influenza are among the most important AKI agents in pediatrics. As for influenza viruses, most patients were asymptomatic, however, some patients had symptoms such as fever and cough. Most of the infected were female. Knowing the epidemic period of respiratory infections observed in Goiânia can be useful to plan and implement prevention strategies.
